Piarere Water Ski Club Profile

The Piarere Water Ski Club is located at the southern end of Lake Karapiro in the Waikato, in an area known as Horahora Domain. The water ski club has been an integral part of the lake for over 59 years, incorporated in 1957 by a group of enthusiastic sportsmen and women.

The club has a growing membership base, not all of our members are professional skiers, and in fact the majority is Family and Social membership with a keen focus on growing our juniors into competitive skiing and other water disciplines.
